Australia has one of the most residentially mobile populations of any country. This means we don't mind moving house. Researchers refer to this as Net Internal Migration or NIM.  With so much attention focused on Sydney's hot property market and the rapid growth in the city's house prices recently, it is easy to see how regional migration starts - when people move from cities to regional areas. 

When you are developing property, finding actual comparable sales references in the same market that you will build is extremely important.  You need to estimate what your dwellings will be worth on completion of your project. 

This week we've been designing new duplexes to build in a more upmarket location. We've been studying floor plans with our builder and their drafts woman. The villas are three bedroom, master with ensuite and main bathroom, separate living room open plan kitchen, dining and living space with alfresco dining under the roof.
